History
In 1878, The Coast Mail was founded by Webster & Hacker in Marshfield. Percy C. Levar and Frank Hofer, both former Capital Journal staff, purchased the Mail in 1901. The two soon launched the Daily Mail, county's first daily newspaper with limited AP Wire service.
In 1906, brothers Gus and Ernest Kramer purchased The Coast Mail from Levar and merged it with their Marshfield Advertiser to form The Coos Bay Times. In 1907, brothers Michael C. and Dan E. Maloney took over the paper.
In 1928, E. G. Murray purchased the paper from the Maloney brothers. Two years later he sold a controlling interest to Sheldon F. Sackett. In 1957, Sackett changed the paper's name from The Times to The World.
